does not guarantee any specific percentage of paid advertising to a
web site. "Default Impressions" (impressions served when no
paid advertising is available) are a by-product of our business. Publishers
may choose to redirect all or a portion of their Default Impressions
at no additional charge. If a Publisher does not specify a default redirect,
Ohana Media reserves the right to utilize these Default Impressions
for its sole benefit without compensation to the Publisher. Such uses
may include, but are not limited to, running opt-in visitor surveys,
collecting user data, promoting Ohana products and services, running
test campaigns, running public service announcements, and/or running
"make good" campaigns (make good campaigns are unpaid advertisements
that are run to make-up for the occasional discrepancies that occur
during the normal course of business).
- Publisher
agrees not to broker or resell any campaigns or creative materials from
Ohana Media Advertisers, or Agencies to any other party without express
written permission from Ohana Media. Publisher also understands that
upon doing so, it automatically forfeits the right and claim to any
revenue generated for its account and its account will be immediately
terminated. Breach of this provision will cause Publisher and its web
property to be liable for all damages related to such breach.
- Publisher
agrees to place banner code only on web sites that have been pre-approved
by Ohana Media

notice. You are free to set advertising rates for any advertising sold
by you or members of your staff.

is proprietary and confidential information and it may not be shared
with other advertisers or third parties.

and risks incurred in order to fulfill campaigns successfully such as,
but not limited to, building creative, ad serving, data purchase, campaign
research, sweepstakes and prize fulfillment, conversion tracking, foreign
currency exchange, cost-of-money, as well as a handling expense. Other
expenses may also include fees such as one-time set-up fees, annual
servicing fees, or licensing fees, which Ohana Media will recoup by
allocating a fixed fee to all of the appropriate campaigns. Ohana Media

unit paid. Such fees may not be detailed in the contract between Ohana
Media and the advertiser. This will be the only basis for payment to
you for advertising.

and guarantees you payment on a regular schedule.

be paid for all campaigns unless you have earned less than your minimum
requested check amount (not to be less than $50). Your balance will

minimum requested check amount. Ohana Media reserves the right to terminate
this agreement if your account goes unpaid due to a failure to meet
the minimum requested check amount ($50) during any six (6) months period.
- Payments
under $5.00 for an inactive account will not be made and are permanently
forfeited.
- Revenue
will be calculated based on traffic audits from Ohana Media’s central
server. Ohana Media traffic audits will be the sole source of audience
traffic measurement for billing purposes. Some ads may be shown by a
third party server. In that case Ohana Media may need to rely on the
third party server's traffic audits as the sole source of audience traffic
measurement for billing purposes.

not to use, or allow the use of, any deceptive, incentivized, mechanical,
computerized or other artificial means of increasing the number of users,
impressions, page views, click-throughs or any other measure of your
traffic.

incentivized, mechanical, computerized or other artificial means used
